<p>weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...........</p>

<p>I pretty sure for a 6/9 on the essay, you just need to have ananalyses of the of rhetorical devices in the passage and if you directly use what was given you have nothing to fear.</p>

<p>for rhetorical devices, i only mentioned them directly for #2..
in other ones, i just quoted the text and gave outside examples, and talked about my point..</p>

<p>will that hurt my grade?</p>

<p>I was sort of wondering this, too. I didn't use terms on the first question, I just analyzed.</p>

<p>any opinions??</p>

<p>did i fail the exam?</p>

<p>I like yours, but I wrote about different things.</p>

<p>For the first one, I said Americans love to show off, and that pink flamingos were symbols of status and power.</p>

<p>For Hazlitt, I said that money was nessecery for happiness. I mentioned the long sentence, parallel structure and diction</p>

<p>For the third one, IO gave two examples of when free speech was good (Bono and FDR) and two of when it was bad (McCarthy and Hitler)</p>

<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>Yours are good.. Mine arent that good</p>

<p>decent?? or crap??</p>

<p>do you think ill get at least 6/9s on these essays??</p>

<p>are the essays graded liberally?</p>

<p>I think you will. Fret not.</p>

<p>i think i wont.. first of all, i didnt talk about literary devices in #1.. just explained what the author was trying to say..</p>

<p>and my conclusions werent very good..</p>

<p>and some parts of my essays look sloppy</p>

<p>am i screwed?</p>

<p>No, don't worry so much.</p>
